Dropped the youngest off at KidShip, the oldest at Chessies practice, and then hopped on a Rainbow for a few solo hours.  Enjoyed a steady breeze, caught up on podcasts, and did a bunch of tack, jibe, and rounding practice.  It takes fewer reps for me to feel "warmed up" so I think that's good.  I should practice starts, though. 

When KidShip let out I took my youngest and his friend out so they could drive the Rainbow for a bit.  Then I parked the boat for a couple of hours to shower and pick up the oldest from Chessies practice, and got back on the rainbow with my wife for a Friday evening sail.

I'm pretty brown and don't sunburn easily, but I definitely got a little red along the edges of my tshirt-and-shorts tan lines.  I'll have to pick up some uv rated long sleeves and pants...
